: : : I was just reading a few posts WAAY down below and there seems

: : : THE HERBERT JOHNSON 'POET' COSTS $265, NOT $300 !!!!

: : : I believe that the "flared" bow is common to British hat style.
: : : And I thought the same thing when I received mine: "Hey! They screwed
: : : up! The bow should be in-line with the ribbon!!!"
: : : Fortunately, there were two other HJ 'Poets' in the box
: : : with which to compare it to. ALL of them had the "flared" bow.
: : : It is a characteristic of that particular hat. And, if you check

: : : is "flared" up. It's difficult to see under some of the lighting
: : : conditions, but on close-up shots it is apparent.
: : : You can also see this in Last Crusade and Temple of Doom, but
: : : the hat changes from the HJ to the Stetson, and so forth. I can
: : : hardly wait for the YIJC tapes to come out, so we can all examine

: : After you paid shipping, handling, and custom charges to the US, was the HJ hat still $265 after the smoke cleared? I thought the $265 was the cost at the store, and without all the goodies they tend to tag on purchases to get it into our hands? I'm curious. Regards. Michaelson

: Um, there was no "customs fee" on delivery as there was with
: the jacket. I'm reading from the receipt:

: 1) HERBERT JOHNSON. HATS MENS
: 1 165.00 EACH 140.43

: 2) EXPORT PPI
: 1 20.00 EACH 20.00

: Total goods 160.43

: And that's all in Pounds, mind you. Hope it helps.
